Sam Alvarado’s passion and respect for handcrafted Mexican food started at a young age. He grew up watching his family cook at home and in the kitchens of Detroit’s popular Mexican Fiesta restaurant chain, which his grandfather founded. Today, as the co-owner and head chef of Fuego Grill, Alvarado draws from that early culinary foundation to craft his own menu of fresh, made-from-scratch dishes that “more than impressed” a food writer for the Dearborn Free Press. He assembles traditional entrees such as carne asada, milanesa sandwiches, and fish tacos with halal meats and locally grown vegetables, creating cuisine that’s as flavorful and conscientious as a chocolate-covered Jiminy Cricket.

"Beef Chimichanga, Hot Salsa, Mild Salsa, freshly fried Corn Tortilla Chips, Grilled Veggie Tostada and the Mexican Steak Milanesa, all were very yummy! Warning, bring a big appetite or split any of these meals between two people, the portions are huge!"

"Haven't been here in over a year, the chips were very greasy and the Salsa eats more like Gazpacho Soup with Cilantro in it but the main course was stellar!

Groupon Guide

In Detroit, Mexican restaurants are never hard to come by—if you know where to look. Some of the best food in the city lives southwest of downtown Detroit, in a vibrant neighborhood called Mexicantown. You probably couldn’t go wrong at any of them, but here’s a rundown of some of our favorite Mexicantown restaurants.For a Family-Friendly Atmosphere: Taqueria Mi PuebloWhy it’s great: There are many great Detroit Mexican restaurants, but few get the consistent praise this one does. Locals cherish the family-owned Mi Pueblo for its authentically delicious food, excellent margaritas, and warm atmosphere. What to eat: The corn tortillas on the tacos are made to order, and you can’t really go wrong with any taco dish. For an appetizer, try the botana—a nacho dish gone haywire, with corn tortilla chips smothered in chorizo, cheese, refried beans, tomatoes, avocados, green peppers, and jalapeños.For Late-Night Takeout: Armando’s Mexican RestaurantWhy it’s great: Armando’s has much going for it during the daytime—the bar serves excellent margaritas, the outdoor patio area is perfect for summer hangouts, and the lunch buffet hits the spot. But the no-frills restaurant wins a lot of points for being open till 2 a.m., when hunger pangs are most difficult to conquer. What to eat: Armando’s may not have the truly authentic flavor of some nearby places, but when it’s midnight and you’re hungry, those concerns start to go out the window. The chips are warm and tasty, and the baja seafood tacos are so delicious they’re trademarked. They feature marinated scallops and shrimp covered in bacon bits and muenster cheese.For a Romantic Evening: El BarzonWhy it’s great: Though not in Mexicantown proper—it’s a couple miles northwest of the neighborhood—El Barzon is worth making the short trip. To put it simply, this is one of the best restaurants in Detroit. The outdoor patio is plenty romantic, with lovely hanging lights and a waterfall adding to the ambiance. And don’t be put off by the fact that it’s an Italian-Mexican restaurant—amazingly, the dual focus doesn’t dilute the quality of either style. What to eat: The emphasis here is on housemade, artfully presented dishes. Locals heap praise on the enchiladas de mole poblano, which pair nicely with a cucumber cilantro margarita.For Cheap, Authentic Tacos: Taqueria El ReyWhy it’s great: A sign outside advertises the “Best Grilled Chicken” in Detroit, and we won’t argue with that. It’s just a matter of debating which dish you should try it in, and we’ll take the tacos. Opt for carryout, then walk two blocks away and eat it in Clark Park. What to eat: The tacos, of course, which come with cilantro and onions. And don’t even think of leaving without trying the horchata.
